- Pinch of salt
- Sugar
- Milk or Buttermilk
- Large egg
- Oil or Melted Butter

- Optional Zest (Lemon zest)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) if using a mini muffin tin. Lightly grease each cavity with butter or non-stick cooking spray. Preheat your electric cake pop or donut hole maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Whisk Dry Ingredients (if using from scratch): In a large bowl, whisk together your flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. If using a complete pancake mix, skip this step.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together your milk (or buttermilk), egg, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently just until combined, leaving a few lumps.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in your fresh or frozen blueberries. Optionally, toss frozen blueberries with a teaspoon of flour before adding to the batter.
- Fill the Cavities: Fill each cavity of the mini muffin tin or popper maker about two-thirds full.
- Cook Your Poppers: For Oven (Mini Muffin Tin): Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. For Electric Popper Maker: Cook according to your appliance's instructions, typically for 3-5 minutes.
- Cool and Serve: Carefully remove the Blueberry Pancake Poppers from the tin or maker and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.

Keywords: To ensure fluffy poppers, avoid overmixing the batter. Fresh blueberries should be thoroughly dry after washing, and frozen blueberries can be added directly from the freezer. For a dairy-free option, use plant-based milk and dairy-free butter.
